AUDITIONS
The audition process consists performing a number of scenes for a Selection Panel consisting of current LMA Teachers and Management, and will last approximately 30 minutes, depending on the number of people auditioning.

While skill is important, selection for a team is not based on skill alone. Teams need a balance of different player types, gender, age and other non-improv related criteria in order to work well as a group.

Above all else remember that auditioning should be fun, and we got your backs!

Auditions are the only way to get onto a House Team!

TEAM MEMBERSHIP
House Teams must practice with their Coach for at least 3 hours per fortnight, and Team Members are required to attend most practices or they may lose their place on the Team.

  • Each House Team must arrange their own space and time for team practice.
  • LMA will book House Teams to perform regularly on stage in front of an audience and Coaches will give notes to Teams after these performances.
  • Membership on a House Team is open ended, however LMA may also make changes to team membership at any time for any reason.
  • New House Teams may name themselves, and all names should be approved by LMA.

 

FEES
Auditioning for and joining a House Team is free of charge.

A Coach will be provided by LMA, and Players will be asked to pool funds to pay a minimum of $25 per hour to the Coach to cover his/her time – all fees are to be negotiated directly with your Coach.

Booking a regular practice space may incur additional fees, depending on the space, and this will be at the team’s expense. If you need space, please ask LMA Staff as there are many community venues available for reasonable fees.

We look forward to seeing you on stage!
